Why Wike suspended FCDA executive secretary
The suspension is likely linked to contract variations that have raised concerns. Wike has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with these variations and vowed to act against those responsible. The minister has also issued directives to ensure all approved files are correctly handled, indicating a push for greater accountability within the FCDA.
According to Leadership, Wike recently approved the confirmation of eight new directors for the FCDA. This move aims to strengthen the authority's leadership and enhance operational efficiency. The promoted directors, including Mr. Jatto Abdulkareem, are expected to use their expertise to drive the FCDA's objectives.
Wike's actions demonstrate his commitment to transparency and good governance within the FCDA. The minister has shown a willingness to take tough decisions to maintain the authority's integrity. For instance, he recently gave the FCDA secretary 24 hours to explain issues surrounding the National Mosque land.
